Here comes another 1962 Swedish Hobbit - not many pictures to go on but the condition doesn't look great.

The other live one on Tradera (posted on this forum c. 10 days ago) ends on Sunday and is at SEK 3400 - much better condition.

That 1962 Swedish Hobbit just went for c. $390, and the earlier one (better condition) went a week ago for c. $640.

What do we think about the fact of the seller splitting a 1st/1st set into three separate listings?

Would one normally expect such a set, even without three DJs and not in the best condition, to command a higher total price when sold together?

he listed it as a charity. Don't think he cares all that much? Or realizes how much its worth.

(10% goes to charity I guess)

Creates more interest and makes more affordable I would say.
Not sure the ‘full’ set adds much value over selling individually and i suspect the seller will get more this way
